Swingtop Bin! A Print-in-Place Trash Can
🕑 Added 2021-04-29 14:02:16 +0000 UTCHowdy, wonderful people!
That's right, it's a trash can! Or a rubbish bin, waste receptacle, or other term depending on which part of this globe you reside. There's a swingtop lid that spins around if you jab it hard enough, and the whole top lid section hinges for easy emptying. As usual, it all prints assembled with no supports needed, because that's the most fun way of doing things :D
The key to this design is the way that the whole thing prints hinged open, with the lid right-way-up and the main body upside down (which is the reason for the 45-degree interior planes at the bottom... which prints at the top.) However, early versions of this one in fact printed entirely upside down, balanced on a swinging lid. However, apart from being rather precarious to print, that also wasn't easy to empty, which is something of an important factor for any kind of container. It also had a some heavy compromises in terms of the lid shape. This version addresses both those issues at the same time, and is far easier to print, too!

You know the drill! It's an articulated model, so make sure your bottom layer is nice and neat, and that your print setup is free from anything like stringing or overextrusion that might bind moving parts together!
No supports required!

Further Thoughts
This is yet another model that is lots of fun to play with but drives anyone else around you insane with the sound of clacky plastic noises...
Happy printing!

Printed in Eryone B-Agate Grey on prusa mk3s. Absolutely perfect. Hide the layer changes on a corner. A nice addition to my desk with the regulation caddy post-it note holder. I wonder if it scales?
Printing this tonight in FilaCube "Greenery" PLA, should be perfect!
